JAKARTA (JP): An all-Hong Kong showdown pitting Abdul Faheem

Hung in yesterday's semifinal here.

Lee faced stiffer competition in the other semifinal,
squandering a commanding two-set lead before beating Malaysian
veteran Tan Tian Huat 9-6, 9-3, 2-9, 5-9, 9-2.

Hong Kong can also take the women's title with Dawn Olsen of
Hong Kong facing Japanese newcomer Yuko Kimura in today's final.

Olsen, in a first set semifinals thriller against Elizabeth
Wilcox of the Philippines, lost 9-10 before walking to a 9-1, 9-
1, 9-3 win. Kimura made short work of Christina Bonoan, also of
the Philippines, 9-2, 10-8, 9-0.

The team events will start tomorrow and end on Sunday. (arf)
